Experiencing Interruptions?

Parasocial

Ricky begins to idolize his roommate, Dylan, an amateur criminal operating an illegal horse meat exchange. After gaining heat from the police, Dylan decides to lay low and trick Ricky into doing his dirty work. The two struggle to make sense of things as two police officers infiltrate their daily lives and their apartment becomes ground zero for an undercover investigation.
